Quand vient l'automne

François Ozon's When Fall Is Coming unfolds in the quiet landscapes of Burgundy, where two retired women, Michelle (Vincent) and Marie-Claude (Balasko), navigate lives in the twilight years. Their worlds are upended when Michelle’s estranged daughter, Valérie, dies from mushroom poisoning, and the return of Marie-Claude’s son, Vincent, recently released from prison. As the narrative unravels, Ozon masterfully weaves together emotional depth and familial tensions, offering a poignant reflection on the burdens of the past. (Festival information, Tromsø 2025)
